README

A Laravel package to handle Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) requests in Laravel applications. This package provides a middleware to manage CORS headers for your routes, making it easy to configure and use CORS in your Laravel project.

Installation

1. Install the package via Composer: Run the following command to install the package:

composer require shaonmajumder/cors

1. Publish the configuration file: Configuration should automatically publish during installation. Still, After installing, publish the configuration file using Artisan:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="ShaonMajumder\\Cors\\Providers\\CorsServiceProvider" --tag=cors-config

This will create the corsconfig.php configuration file in the config directory of your Laravel application.

1. Configure CORS settings: ENV is already set during installation. You can also configure these values in the .env file: Example .env entries:

CORS_ALLOWED_METHODS=GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS
CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS=http://localhost:8000, http://example.com
CORS_ALLOWED_HEADERS=Content-Type, Authorization, X-CSRF-TOKEN, Referer, X-Origin

Usage

1. Apply the middleware globally (optional): Altough we have registered the middleware. You can add the cors middleware to the global middleware stack by editing the app/Http/Kernel.php file. In the $middleware array, add:

\ShaonMajumder\Cors\Http\Middleware\CorsMiddleware::class,

1. Apply the middleware to specific routes: You can also apply the middleware to specific routes by adding it to your routes or controllers. Example:

Route::middleware(['cors'])->get('/some-endpoint', 'SomeController@someMethod');

Alternatively, if you want to apply the middleware to a controller:

class SomeController extends Controller
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->middleware('cors');
    }

    public function someMethod()
    {
        return response()->json(['message' => 'CORS headers added']);
    }
}

Configuration Options

You can configure the following options in the config/corsconfig.php file or in your .env file:

• CORS_ALLOWED_METHODS: Comma-separated list of allowed HTTP methods (default: GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS).
• CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS: Comma-separated list of allowed origins (default: http://localhost:8000, http://localhost:8001).
• CORS_ALLOWED_HEADERS: Comma-separated list of allowed headers (default: Content-Type, Authorization, X-CSRF-TOKEN, Referer, X-Origin).

Environment Configuration

Ensure that the necessary entries exist in your .env file:

CORS_ALLOWED_METHODS=GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, OPTIONS
CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS=http://localhost:8000, http://localhost:8001
CORS_ALLOWED_HEADERS=Content-Type, Authorization, X-CSRF-TOKEN, Referer, X-Origin
